The Bangtan Chatroom [THE BTS CHATFIC]

┃CHAPTER 28┃

✨𝔽𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕥𝕪✨

All the members ended up falling asleep with these thoughts swirling in their minds. Some cried quietly, others cried themselves to sleep, but the feeling of unease lingered in the air. The next day arrived seemingly earlier than ever, or at least that's how it felt to the members. One by one, they came downstairs for brunch, knowing that once their journey began, lunch might be uncertain.

Jungkook was the first to speak up, breaking the silence that had settled over the table. "Guys, I want to talk about something," he said, making everyone look at him.

"Me too," Jimin and Taehyung said in unison, surprising each other.

"Go ahead, Jungkook. Jin and I need to address something too," Namjoon said, gesturing for everyone to sit and listen to the youngest.

"I think we all want to say the exact same thing, Namjoon," Yoongi added, and Hoseok nodded in agreement.

"Hyung, the thing is..." Jungkook began, his voice trembling as he explained everything he felt the previous night. "I don't know why it's happening," he finished, tears streaming down his face.

"Omo, Jungkook-ah! That's exactly what I wanted to discuss too. Please don't cry," Jin said, moving to comfort the maknae.

"Did we all feel the same thing?" Taehyung asked, looking around at the others. They nodded.

"Man, I was crying the whole night... I couldn't sleep," Yoongi admitted, recalling his restless night.

Namjoon placed his hands on the dining table, looking serious. "I think I know the reason, and I believe the chatroom simulation is involved."

"It could be related to us as well," Hoseok said, drawing everyone's attention. "I mean, there's a chance, maybe a 20% probability, that the chat simulation is a factor. But it really depends on us. A chat simulation can't make humans cry; that's not possible. So, it has to involve something deeper within us." His eyes were red, with dark shadows beneath them, evidence of his own sleepless night.

Yoongi noticed Hoseok's state and held his hand. "Guys, I think discussing this is pointless now because we can't feel it anymore. Let's move on," he said, trying to bring everyone back to reality.

"Hoseok, you don't have to look that intense when you speak, you know?" Jin remarked, noticing how the maknaes seemed a bit taken aback by Hoseok's sudden shift in demeanor.

"I'm sorry, that's just how I get with serious matters. Anyway, let's finish our brunch. We need our energy," Hoseok said, attempting to lighten the mood.

This conversation only fueled Jungkook's curiosity. He needed more answers, and he wasn't ready to let it go just yet. He watched as the others tried to move on, but he could see the lingering questions in their eyes, mirroring his own thoughts.

The members began eating, the clinking of cutlery the only sound for a few moments. Jungkook took a deep breath, determined to get to the bottom of it. "I can't just forget about it," he said quietly, looking around at his friends.

Namjoon stood up, drawing everyone's attention with a confident smile. "Alright, listen up, everyone. I've got some exciting plans for us today, and I think you're going to love it."

The younger members leaned in, their curiosity piqued. Namjoon continued, "We're going to spend the day exploring and, tonight, we're going to camp under the stars."
